And got us into the champions league the very next year. Moyes has his faults. Lord knows I had ten years of watching him and getting frustrated as hell at times.
My problem with what Rio is saying there is firstly, the idea that cos Moyes was hands-on and didn't delegate was a fault. You won't get a more hands-on manager than Wenger. That guy oversees, sorry oversaw *sad tear* every single aspect of Arsenal. Be it transfers or whatever and look how much he won? Moyes didn't get that mindset by being an Everton manager. That's just how he managed.
The second point how Moyes was on the backfoot when playing other teams. Yeah, he did that. I'll never forgive him for saying before Everton played Man City back in 2011/12 or something that "It is a bit like going into a gun fight and we are only armed with a knife.". That negativity grated at times. However, this isn't cos he was an Everton manager. I honestly believe that's his mindset.
Is he a good manager? He saved Everton's ass so many times when we had no money and managed to get great performances from very average players. So yes he is a good manager and I'd argue with anyone who says he isn't. Don't forget it was Alex Ferguson who personally pushed for Moyes to follow him at Man Utd.
Would he be the right manager for USA. Not sure.
